Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been extensively utilized in structural health monitoring (SHM) due to some significant advantages such as lightweight, small size, and high temperature tolerance. However, when working under extreme conditions, FBG sensors are prone to chirped reflection spectrum that leads to strain reading anomalies (SRAs). These chirped phenomena such as peak broadening, peak reduction, and multiple peaks should be tackled first, otherwise the accuracy and reliability of the sensors be compromised significantly. This paper proposes an adaptive post-processing method to efficiently detect and remove SRAs caused by the chirped reflection spectrum in FBG sensors. The proposed method utilizes the K-means clustering algorithm to determine adaptively thresholds instead of relying on manual fixed thresholds. Furthermore, a geometric threshold offset method is applied to distorted strain curves to eliminate SRAs. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated using the Pearson correlation coefficient. This index can characterize the correlation between the post-processing strain curve and the temperature/pressurized curve. The experimental results of a 3.35-meter-diameter composite tank under a cryogenic pressurization test are processed by the proposed method and two other existing methods. The comparisons illustrate the superiority of the proposed method.
Objective Distributed optic fiber sensor(DOFS)is widely used for status monitoring and damage detection of aerospace vehicles due to its ability to achieve large-area and high-density sensing of structures.However,in the face of uncertainties caused by the harsh service environment of aerospace,a phenomenon of strain reading anomalies(SRAs)occurs in DOFS measurements.These SRAs result in significant strain peaks occurring in localized regions or at specific moments in time,thereby posing challenges for DOFS to accurately measure physical quantities and making it even more difficult to interpret these measurements.To minimize the negative effects of SRAs,some researchers have adopted a series of data processing methods,such as polynomial fitting method,spectral shift quality(SSQ)method,geometrical threshold method(GTM),and polynomial interpolation comparison method(PICM).Although these data processing methods are effective in reducing random errors in measurement data,they fail to completely remove the phenomenon of SRAs,and there is still a risk of removing highly reliable measurement readings.Meanwhile,the above methods still use the fixed threshold method to detect and determine the anomalies,and the determination of the fixed threshold relies on manual experience,which has low detection efficiency and a high false alarm rate,thus limiting its application in complex service environments.Therefore,we propose an intelligent adaptive post processing method for detecting and quickly removing SRAs from DOFS. Methods The proposed algorithm,namely the adaptive geometrical threshold offset method(AGTOM),adopts the K-means clustering method to adaptively determine thresholds for distinguishing differences of thresholds caused by various structural features and service conditions.A continuous geometric correction is implemented on the distorted strain curves to effectively eliminate SRAs.To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method,a case study is conducted on the processing of DOFS measurement data collected during the pressure cycling test of a fuel tank.The Pearson correlation coefficient(PCC)is utilized to evaluate the correlation between the post-processing curves and normal strain curves.Besides,a comparison is conducted with other post-processing algorithms(GTM and PICM)to highlight the advantages of the proposed method. Results and Discussions Based on their different response characteristics,SRAs can be classified into two categories:harmless strain reading anomalies(HL-SRAs)and harmful strain reading anomalies(HF-SRAs).For the HL-SRAs,AGTOM consistently yields optimal post-processing results with PCC values not less than 0.965.It is followed by GTM,whose PCC values are all not less than 0.798.However,GTM interferes when HL-SRAs are coupled with NaN values.In addition,PICM achieves promising processing results only in the first typical case(i.e.,sparsely distributed HL-SRAs).In the remaining three typical cases,PICM still produces distortions with a PCC value not greater than 0.512.Importantly,both GTM and PICM exhibit distorted post-processing curves when HL-SRAs are coupled with NaN values.For HF-SRAs,AGTOM also yields the highest post-processing results,with no PCC value lower than 0.917.The susceptibility of PICM to curve distortion accurately reflects the difference between HF-SRAs and HL-SRAs because the main characteristic of the former is that strain values follow an erroneous strain response or frequent sudden changes.It is difficult to determine the change in strain increment using PICM because it detects and removes SRAs by comparing the fitted value with the original value.Compared with PICM,GTM takes into account the sudden changes of the strain increment,resulting in improved post-processing results when HF-SRAs consist of densely changed SRAs.However,similar to HL-SRAs,both GTM and PICM show worsened post-processing results when NaN values interfere with HF-SRAs,indicating lower algorithmic robustness for GTM and PICM compared to AGTOM Conclusions The proposed algorithm AGTOM is able to distinguish the differences in thresholds due to different structural characteristics and service environments.The K-mean clustering algorithm uses an internal evaluation metric,namely Davies-Bouldin index(DBI),to characterize the clustering effect of strain increments.The threshold is determined by obtaining the optimal k value.For the HL-SRAs,both GTM and AGTOM methods can achieve satisfactory processing results.However,PICM is susceptible to interference when facing densely distributed and coupled HL-SRAs,leading to serious distortions in its post-processing curves.For HF-SRA,the post-processing curves of the other two algorithms are distorted to varying degrees,except for AGTOM,which exhibits the highest PCC compared to the normal strain curve.For both HL-SRAs and HF-SRAs,GTM and PICM are interfered with when SRAs are coupled with NaN,indicating that the algorithmic robustness of both is lower than that of AGTOM.To further validate the effectiveness of AGTOM,it will still be necessary to test AGTOM by applying it to different experimental scenarios in the future.
The 8 mm-thick 2195 Al-Li alloy joints were achieved by Friction Stir Welding (FSW). The microstructural evolution, temperature-dependent mechanical properties, and fracture properties were studied. The T1, δ′/β′ and θ′ precipitates were observed in the Base Metal (BM) and the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). Most of the precipitates, except for re-precipitated δ′/β′ phases, were dissolved in the Nugget Zone (NZ). The tensile specimens that failed at cryogenic temperatures (–196 °C) had the maximum Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS), and the fracture surface showed the inter-granular fracture characteristics. Compared to those at room temperature (25 °C), the decreasing tensile properties at high temperature (180 °C) were related to microstructure and strain hardening effects. The NZ presented the optimal fracture toughness, and the Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD) was mutually dominated by microhardness and grain size. Analysis on Fatigue Crack Growth (FCG) rates indicates that the Thermal-Mechanically Affected Zone (TMAZ) exhibited the most superior fatigue resistance performance at stress intensity range below 17 MPa·m1/2 due to compressive residual stress and the crack closure effect. The fatigue fracture surfaces reveal that the crack propagation zone was characterized by the striations and secondary cracks. Also, inter-granular fracture behavior was responsible for the fastest FCG rates in the NZ.

Creep aging forming (CAF) is a potential process to manufacture large integral components of Al–Li alloys, which exhibits poor formability and susceptibility to damage and cracking via traditional plastic forming processes. Al–Li alloys also have disadvantages, such as low creep and comprehensive properties.To address this problem, this study adopted pre-aging as a treatment process before creep aging (CA). The effects of pre-aging at different temperatures (65 °C, 90 °C, and 115 °C) on the CA of Al–Li alloys were evaluated at 155 °C for 18 h. Creep strain, the evolution of mechanical properties, and the microstructural characteristics were investigated as well. The results showed that pre-aging could effectively influence the subsequent CA behavior. As the pre-aging temperature increased, creep strain accumulation during CA decreased. Meanwhile, pre-aging significantly increased the elongation (EL) of the specimens after CA; Notably, the increase in EL did not compromise strength. Changes in the microstructure of the specimens after pre-aging and CA tests were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The effect of pre-aging on the subsequent CA properties mainly revealed that the strength was not lower than that of the specimen without pre-aging after the same CA test through adjusting the percentage and size of the T1 and θ′ phases. In addition, pre-aging could promote the transformation of the fracture mechanism from intergranular fracture to mixed fracture in the specimen after CA.
Homogenization treatment is vital for eliminating eutectic structure and ensuring a preferable microstructure foundation for Aluminum Lithium (Al-Li) alloys. In this paper, solidification phases in an as-cast Al-Li alloy were revealed and their evolutions during multiple homogenization processes were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The results showed that the as-cast microstructure mainly contained needlelike Al2CuLi and Al2Cu phase, large size Cu-rich phases and netlike Ag-containing phases attached to them. As the alloy homogenized by 455°C/16h, except for needle-like phases inside grains, part of phases on grain boundaries had dissolved into the matrix and exhibited rounded shapes. As homogenized by 455°C/16h+495°C/16h, Ag-containing phase had completely dissolved into the matrix while the Cu-rich phases remained and showed two different morphologies depending on whether Mg element was contained. Prolonging the second homogenization time to 28h, no obvious change occurred for the Cu-rich phase. As homogenized by 455°C/16h+495°C/20h+512°C/20h, most Cu-rich phase had dissolved into the matrix while residual phase was mainly Fe-containing phase. This proposes an effective way to eliminate various solidification phases in Al-Li alloys and identify their contents.

In this study, a two-stage creep aging (CA) is established by adding a new stage of low-temperature CA to the traditional single-stage CA. The results show that the two-stage CA can effectively increase the elongation (EL) of the material by about 39.2% without sacrificing strength and creep strain. In the first stage of two-stage CA, as temperature increases, EL improvement first increases and then decreases; when the temperature varies between 65 ? and 115 ?, total creep strain remains consistent. Observation of the microstructures of the specimens under different CA processes reveals that two-stage CA mainly affects the mechanical properties of the material by adjusting the properties of the GP zones inside the material in the first stage of two-stage CA, which further affects the number and size of the T-1 phase in the subsequent CA process. Whether the GP zones evolve into a large number of T-1 and theta ' phases in the first stage of two-stage CA can directly influence the creep strain of the entire two-stage CA process and changes in the EL of the material after CA.
The composite tank has become the trend and focus for the power system of the new generation aerospace vehicles. However, the evaluation methods and monitoring technologies for composite tanks under cryogenic experiments are still challenging problems. In this paper, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is used to measure the strain and temperature of the stiffened composite tank under room and cryogenic temperature pressurization experiments. Temperature compensation based on the thermal stratification phenomenon is proposed to increase the reliability and accuracy of strain monitoring in cryogenic environment. A non-linear fitting based calibration method of temperature sensitivity coefficient addresses the non-linear relationship between the FBG wavelength and temperature change from liquid nitrogen temperature to room temperature. The results show that the average absolute error of the nonlinear calibration method in the cryogenic test is less than 50 με. It is also illustrated that the structural features of the sensor location can be qualitatively determined according to the strain changes of different sensors. The comparison of strain increments in the cyclic pressurization illustrated that the different performance degradation phenomena of different regions could be observed. These results provide strong support for the high stability and reliability of FBG-based composite tank strain monitoring.

In this study, a radius expansion approach to enlarge radius around welding area is proposed to reduce residual stresses and distortion for large girth joint structure. The finite element (FE) model is developed to investigate the effects of expansion on the welding residual stresses and distortion. The simulation is verified with the experiment results. With larger radius expansion, there is lower residual stresses and distortion in joint. The mechanism is discussed using thermal-elastic-plastic (TEP) strains theory of welding. The theoretical analysis reveals that elastic strain induced by radius expansion is the key factor that reduces hoop residual stress and radial shrinkage.
